Bought a new car mercedes a class that is ten years old and needed front brakes and shock absorber's. Took into Motormaster garage in Leatherhead. Surrey KT22 7UE (RAC was originally took me to that garage with previous car)have used before a few times and always a service was around £700.00 each time! Asked if he could also do a service, recieved bill of £754.00 with new front brakes. The labour charge alone was £359.00 for the service and front brakes. Then was given another bill for the front shock absorber's, pipes, belt kit, drive kit, sensor, roll bar bushes and rear brake pads to have those done! The bill total was £1345 on top of the service. When I asked if this all needed doing he replied yes but would need to bring car back again as big job? Took the car to Leatherhead motor company instead and they were wonderful took the car in straight away and did me a cost of £415.00 with a replacement car for 1 day. The back brakes did not need doing as also half of the other things did not need to be replaced for a few years, the brakes only a little rust as they were new it would wear in!
